That guard didn't dare to look up at Rong Jiu and could only hurriedly say, "When the Third Prince entered the palace, he seemed to have fought with the Empress. However, we didn't dare to barge in, so we just waited outside. Not long after the Third Prince left, Her Majesty…"
Emperor Jiawen shot Rong Jiu an icy look. Rong Jiu had gone to see the Empress today and found the ink pearl. It's normal for him to have a conflict with the Empress, but… Why did the Empress suddenly seek death? Could it really have something to do with Rong Jiu…?
Rong Jiu's heart sank. Emperor Jiawen really started to suspect me! The guard's previous words were too misleading! He's doing it on purpose!
Rong Jiu yelled, "Father, I can swear that this has nothing to do with me! Other than me, another person has also gone to the Empress's place!"
Emperor Jiawen immediately asked, "Who?!"
Rong Jiu took a deep breath in. "Situ Xingchen!"
